INTERESTED:
Go ahead and register for the cruise and submit your first deposit to secure your cabin with the main Sail-Gate group. The prime cabin locations always move first — and once they’re assigned, that’s it. This is a long, lover’s weekend mixed with Super Bowl energy, and we are absolutely turning up for all the reasons you came. Once your cabin is officially assigned, you’ll receive flight options along with shuttle, hotel, and advance party details for early arrivals. That information is sent to confirmed guests only — so lock your spot in.

We are official partners with Carnival and have secured group space specifically for our Sail-Gate NOLA Group Experience. Booking through us ensures you are part of our hosted group and receive the exclusive amenities, perks, and added touches tied to this event. If you book directly with Carnival, you’ll still be on the ship — but you will not be included in our group benefits or extended experiences.

If you have a special offer — VIFP, Military, Casino, or any other qualifying promotion — we’re happy to apply it. Simply register through us, then email our team and we will review, adjust, upgrade, or move you into your eligible promotion using whatever you’ve already paid toward your cruise. No worries — we’ll take care of it.

Take 5% off your balance when you pay in full at registration.

We do not automatically place our cruisers on the bottom of the ship where the lower prices are found, in obstructed-view cabins or undesirable ship locations. Our pricing reflects well-positioned cabins in prime areas and within proximity to the Sail-Gate group experience.

Registering (your $50 deposit) places you on our group manifest and assigns you a Destination Darling to assist with flights, arrival stays, excursions, and customizing your cruise experience.

Your cabin number and exact location are confirmed once your first cruise payment is made. At that point, you’ll be able to manage your booking directly through your Carnival portal.

If you have specific cabin preferences, special needs, or desired deck locations, we recommend securing your cabin early. Prime locations are assigned in the order payments are received.

If you would like a cabin that is lower or less expensive, go ahead and register for the cruise (make the manifest by making your deposit) share your desires and budget with your Destination Darling and we will search for the cabin that suits your requests, respectfully.

This Sail-Gate experience will continue to evolve as our group grows. As more guests join the manifest, additional exclusive events, themed experiences, upgrades, and curated enhancements will be introduced. We intentionally design each cruise around the energy and composition of our confirmed travelers to ensure every sailing feels elevated and tailored to the group. All confirmed guests will receive updates via email regarding added experiences, themed details, optional purchases, and special enhancements as they are released.

Stay locked in. The experience builds from here.

A Carnival cruise from New Orleans is your chance to discover the unmistakable charm and flavor of the Crescent City. Before or after you cruise, take a little time to explore the French Quarter — romantic as ever, with restaurants serving up heaping helpings of savory Creole cuisine, and nightclubs and street musicians playing the kind of jazz that gets your toes tapping. The best part is, you can soak up some of this flavor before sailing on one of our cruises out of New Orleans.  Whether you’re whooping it up on Bourbon Street, listening to the Jackson Square trumpeters, or hearing the ghosts whisper at eerie St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, spending extra time in the Big Easy is a must when cruising from New Orleans. Time your NOLA cruise right, and you can step out with the parades of Jazz Fest and Mardi Gras.

• Eat, drink, and revel in the lively French Quarter.

• Spot mansions peeking out from lush greenery in the Garden District.

• Dunk sugary beignets in your café au lait at Café du Monde.

• Celebrate the history of Mardi Gras before you cruise from New Orleans.

🎉 Fun Day at Sea – Adults, Unbothered & Outside

This is the day you don’t have to be anywhere—and that’s the best part. Our Adults Fun Day at Sea is all about doing cruise life your way. Sleep in, sip something strong by the pool, catch live music, laugh a little louder, and let the good times roll.

Whether you’re turning up, chilling out, or bouncing between both, this day is pure vibes, zero schedule, and no responsibilities. No ports. No rushing. Just grown folks enjoying the moment. For first-time cruisers, this is when it finally hits: yeah… I get the hype now. 🚢🔥

8:00 AM - 4:00 PM Cozumel is proof that Mexico can do ‘island flavor’ with the best of the Caribbean. It may not be the biggest island in the sea, but Cozumel offers a huge variety of things to do, see, taste and explore. This island just happens to be perched atop a coral reef, which promises hours of snorkeling or scuba diving fun. Cruises to Cozumel dock at the island’s heart — just minutes from San Miguel’s seafront shops and the white sand beach at Chankanaab National Park. Drift among star corals and sea fans on a Cozumel diving excursion or simply kick back on the beach beneath your own palm palapa as the turquoise waves roll in. With non-stop zip line action, ancient discoveries at the nearby Mayan ruins, or time spent with your toes in the sand, a cruise to Cozumel may just top your best vacations list… before you even get home.

• Cruise to Cozumel for a scuba diving adventure along the Great Mesoamerican Reef.

• Enjoy a leisurely day of snorkeling with iridescent fish at Chankanaab National Park.

• Swim with the flippy guys at Dolphinaris.

Until Next Time!
